That refected light from the water ripples is fantastic!

...you spotted the primary reason I posted this one. Thanks!

I'm not 100% on the ID but I believe this is a Anhinga

I found this grumpy looking bird in Kanchanaburi. I think it's a streak eared bulbul



More Openbill storks. This time, was closer to the flight path and found their tree.


Is it another pond heron? I can't guess because I thought it should have a darker color on the right

I saw a black drongo, not a good pose but I'll share if anyone wants to see.
Something around bright blue 20 or 25 cm flew too fast and too far away.
There was also a ten or fifteen cm yellow green bird but a little too far away for a clear photo. The setting was nice and I'll share one if anyone wants of that.
All in all, I was able to find not only these birds, but a white squirrel, an interesting red insect, a four varieties of butterflies, some interesting plants. I don't consider myself skilled with finding wildlife so I think other can find even more plus various atrractionsi n Kanchanaburi.

Meadow Pipit on stone and a Stonechat on a plant in mid meadow - nice shots anyway!

Looks like an Eastern Cattle Egret. Unfortunately I cant zoom into the photo to see some stuff that will make it 99.9% positive but even now It's the Eastern with 99.5% odds !

They catch fish by stabbing them. Quite a sight.

I spent the day wondering in the preserve and only saw this one in a tree, and there was plenty of water around. It would have been cool to catch one fishing because that beak does look like it could do some damage.

Very nice series, Noreaster.

Here's a couple of shots from my visit to Florida 5 years ago, taken with the 5DSR and EF 100-400mm II (one of my favourite camera/lens combinations ever). It was then awesome watching the Anhinga eat the Warmouth.

Wow that first shot is pretty wild, it looks like he/she pierced it twice. The birds look is deceiving, long neck, kind of goofy but that beak is deadly.

Never saw one prior to snapping the shot.

I'm taking a guess on this one but I believe it is a Willet.

I think it is a Greater Yellowlegs. The Willet is very similar but has grayish legs.

Are the Oystercatchers cropped or have you reduced size. I am interested to compare with shots I took yesterday with the RF 200-800mm on the R5.
